Firefox Support Forum

After submitting a form (say a search form) and then clicking on a link on the results ("action") page I wish to go back to the form page and change the form criteria. However, when I hit the back button Firefox always wants to re-post the form data before I can go back any further in the history. Very clunky. Is there a way to prevent this re-post and just have it open the cached page?

Google Chrome does this nicely by just displaying a page in lieu of the form's "action" page that gives you the option to re-submit or you can simply click back to go back to the form page. I don't think Firefox should force you to resubmit a form if you are just trying to navigate backwards through your history.

I used to get around this by using the split back button to choose the form page directly, but the FF4/FF5 default navigation buttons don't have this any longer (that I can find anyway).

Is there an about:config setting that will prevent this forced re-submit?

The Google Toolbar "will not be supported on Firefox 5 and future versions."

Mozila Firefox is my default browser.I need it with fully working functions. I can understand when a new final release comes ,for some days few extensions and plugins may not work.But the solution may come if you provide a better platform to other third party vendors as you take out beta releases. So as soon as your final release comes out we excited people about your new release never get disappointment with not supported necessary extensions. you can understand extensions are life of a browser.

Please explain why my Yahoo Toolbar disappeared after the latest Firefox update-All I am told is "it is incompatible." This is not acceptable-I use Yahoo Toolbar to navigate the websites I check on everyday. I certainly do not want to go back to I.E. for my browsing needs but what choice do I have if I can't use Yahoo Toolbar w/ my Firefox browser?

I changed my persona to a different one but when I close and re-open Firefox, it's reset to the one before. This has happened several times before and I have no idea what is going on

When I downloaded version 5.0 I can no longer find how to get to my homepage of yahoo.com. Where did it go. Once had a little house icon, then when upgraded it become a "Y" icon. Now can't even find that. How do I get from my mail page to the home page? Very frustrating.

I have repeatedly tried VIEW to get my two most important toolbars to come back. My Bookmarks bar is gone and so is my URL bar, so I can't copy URLs or type in known addresses. Updating to Foxfire 5 didn't help.

I would like to switch to the release channel from the beta channel, but the option to switch does not appear in the Help>About window. Is there another way to change channels?

Alright I was wondering if there is some way of setting a new tab to redirect to my homepage in FF5 without using TabMixPlus (don't like the fact it changes new tab text colours)

From time to time the personal security code entry matrix on my online bank's website will not accept all of my code's 6 digits. I can't remember now whether this was happening before I installed version 4.0 or whether it started then. The point is it hasn't always been a problem.

I've only just installed version 5.0 so have not had the time to see whether it has inherited the same glitch.

I do not have this problem with Safari.

My bank, Société Générale, tell me that other Firefox users are experiencing the same problem, but can offer no help other than to observe that it is clearly a Firefox problem.

Upgraded my Firefox to 5.0 and my Google Toolbar is missing; tried to install it through Google and it says it's not compatible yet. I really hate not having it; when will this be resolved?

WHen I would open firefox it would show all my websites I was using for the past few days i.e. facebook, yahoo, banking etc. Now I have to physically type it in the url. Is that still available?
